New ‘Man of Steel’ Images Bring Superman Down to Earth

These new photos from Zack Snyder's upcoming 'Man of Steel' should help hold you over until the film's release this summer -- especially once you get a look at Michael Shannon as General Zod.

Entertainment Weekly has released a whole batch of photos from their 'Man of Steel' feature, including pics of Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Ma and Pa Kent, Antje Traue as the villainous Faora, and Michael Shannon as General Zod looking like he's doing what Michael Shannon does best.

'Man of Steel' follows Clark Kent, a young journalist once known by the name of Kal-El before he was sent away from his home planet of Krypton and adopted by a nice couple named Martha and Jonathan, who instilled in him good values and gave him a traditional American home. But Clark isn't your typical American -- blessed with powers from his home planet, Clark struggles between doing the right thing and protecting his identity. When the world is attacked by evil forces, it's up to Clark to try and save them, but will his powers be seen as a force for good or a threat?

The film is produced by Christopher Nolan and hits theaters on June 14, when we'll get to see more of Michael Shannon's amazing facial expressions.
